Fun With Clay
I forgot to take pictures this afternoon but we got to play in the studio for a few hours – so so fun! I made a little bowl, a teacup and a dish. Tomorrow we’ll glaze them which will be a blast as well….
Canvas Tote Bag – Finishing It Up
Tonight the final touches on the canvas tote bag. It looked unfinished to me with the unadorned handles so I doodled on those and also added a frame around each side of the bag. Side one Side two
